In a very import space mission,Mangalyaan, Mission to Mars, ISRO on its Facebook page has conveyed that Mars Orbiter has travelled 525 million kms in its heliocentri arc. Now, radio signals can be received in 15 miuntes. Some intelligent Orbit maneuvering was done and Orbit insertion is planned in 75 days from now. This maneuvering is necessary to keep space craft on right path.
Isro had initially planned four corrections during its journey to Mars. The manoeuvres are needed to keep the spacecraft on the required path. It is also essential for maintaining the required velocity.
